Agreed. I wish there was a tax credit for farmers who don’t use fertilizer, even if that’s only imported, so as to encourage composting. Right now it’s pretty easy to externalize agricultural waste on the public’s dime or health. I’m thinking about the hog waste lagoons in NC for example. What if some portion of that vast expanse of pig shit could be reused?
- bluGill 5y agoMostly it is reused. However shipping is expensive and you can apply too much and cause problems. there is way too much manure in some places, and not enough in others. It isn't exactly safe either. There is a lot of diseases in that manure. You need to take more care when applying it than some fertilizers. (though not nearly as much as anhydrous ammonia)
